Best decision I have ever made!!!

I just want to start off thanking Christine and the rest of the staff at All America Law. I was looking for a lawyer in the beginning of January due to a custody battle over my son. The first lawyer told me that this would be a tough case and to maybe not even move out of state, that was unrealistic ...due to my new opportunities out of state. However, I kept looking and found Christine, on our consultation call I immediately felt her good energy and knew she was the right attorney for this case. Even though my case was last minute, Christine and her staff made it work by putting all hands aboard on this case. I cannot thank Christine, Katrina and the rest of the staff enough, they answered all my phone calls, kept me updated with what they were doing on my case, and made me feel secure with my case. All American Law cares more than just 'winning' a case but more so doing what is RIGHT. Christine was on my side and did more than I could ever imagine during trial. I was told by many people that it would be hard for a father to get an out of state move away order, but Christine made that happen and now I have physical custody of my child. We are now living out of state and happier than ever. I would highly recommend this law firm to any one that is going through a custody battle.

Best Attorney Ever

Christine James is the best attorney ever. She got me everything I wanted in my divorce and child custody judgement. Christine was very professional in a time of my life when I had very sensitive and emotional family issues but she kept me positive and the final results were incredible. So if you are... looking for an attorney that will fight for what you deserve then she is it. I now have full custody of my two kids.

Professional, thorough, and caring!

As an attorney myself, I knew that my brother needed an attorney to get him through his divorce. We found Christine at All American and she was the perfect fit for what he needed - a combination of empathy coupled with the moxie to be tough when he needed her to be. She has seen a lot in her years of... practice but not so much that she has let her compassionate side go. She provided great advice and counsel to my brother and helped him get through the process of his dissolution. Christine explained every step along the way and took the children’s best interests into account in turning a bad situation into one that served my brother’s family. I would recommend her to anyone needing the mixture of professionalism, expertise, and caring to advocate for them.

Fights for whats right

Mrs. James has been my attorney for about two years and she has been a godsend. As a father involved in a child custody case, how it’s difficult in the California justice system for any father and with an uncooperative mother, Christine has given me more than I could have asked for from an attorney. ...Christine has fought for what’s best for myself and my child, continues to fight for me to obtain custody and helped get the child support down. Christine has helped reduce the stress of this case, simplifies the legal talk to help anyone understand it and I would recommend her to anyone who needs help. She is an unbelievable attorney at what she does and to have on your side every step of the way.
